Mumbai: West Indies cricket legend Sir Viv Richards has walked out to bat for Sachin Tendulkar amidst calls for the little Indian to retire from international cricket.
Richards, who celebrates his 60th birthday today, told MiD DAY from Antigua: "You have to be patient with him. Sachin has been around for so long that when he goes, he is going to be sadly missed. So, while you have him now, why not enjoy him till the very end?"

Tendulkar, who has spent over 22 years in international cricket, is one century shy of becoming the only batsman to score a hundred international centuries. His wait has been frustratingly long with Hundred No 99 coming nearly one year ago -- on March 12, 2011 (vs South Africa during the last World Cup).
"The milestone which has eluded him over a period of time will come. You have got to sympathise with Sachin. He needs to be given an opportunity to accomplish that. "He deserves it because of the contribution he has made to the game.
"It's a huge milestone and you will only get an opportunity to pass this way once. It would be a milestone for other Indian batsmen to try and emulate. I doubt whether they will get there, but it is something to aim for," Richards added.
Tendulkar idolised Richards in his younger days and though they didn't get the opportunity to play against each other, mutual respect has been a constant. "I have always felt Sachin epitomises what batsmanship is all about. I am a great fan of Sachin -- not only for his cricket, but also for his mannerisms, his politeness and humble nature.
"Sachin has given longevity a good name -- how, if you take care of yourself, barring a few injuries, you can go on. He is the perfect example of professionalism.
"Winning the World Cup in India was a perfect sort of team achievement. I am not sure if he has his sights on another World Cup, but all this is pretty hard to beat. He is special for the game."

Documentary from Ten Cricket Titled "India's Top Ten Batsmen". Didn't go through the content. Will check it later.
I was checking the Sharjah Gold knock of robelinda2. I found one of those comments very intriguing and go-ogled the same and ended up with the below link. The comment'er says he has on good authority that the accusation is quite true.
Here is the comment regarding the Sharjah knocks and how Tendulkar spoilt the party.

Lele offers concrete illustrations of results that have been rigged and then mentions two instances when efforts made by Jadeja and Azharuddin to contrive an outcome of convenience were thwarted by heroic interventions from Sachin Tendulkar. In both cases, Lele seems to suggest, Tendulkar was warned in advance through anonymous calls made to team manager Anshuman Gaekwad, of his two teammates' concealed agenda. Jadeja and Azharuddin played in both instances according to the bookmakers' script. But Tendulkar willed things otherwise.
I've heard stories of Sachin swearing at N Mongia after the latter got out in the Chennai test against Pakistan... Again a case of Sachin knowing Mongia got sold out...
which test? thalaivars 132 match?
Could be True, satissh.
andha test video irukka?
nemba emotionala paattha match... would be nostalgic if i can see that video...
andha matchla dhane prasad dhideerun vandhu vitthai kaaatuvaaar... 20 runskulla 6 wicket eduppainga namma aalunga...
or in another match from the same series?

Yeah same match, Sachin was so annoyed that he swore in public.. Shastri and Gavaskar then had a chat with him for some half hour. @ wizzy - I was at the ground too but for the 1st innings, after Ramesh and Sachin got out I lost all interest and decided not to go again..

Well couldnt read into what all went wrong that afternoon.....i was at the ground myself, but was just too small to judge as to what was going onfield.....ivvalo panikiraangaalannu nenaikkumbodhu romba aruvaruppa irukku......intha maari oruthanaiyya 'selfish player', 'playing for recordsnnu' solli asinga paduthraangalenu veruppa irukku.....

The joy of Tendulkar
Tendulkar made his debut in 1989; on Tuesday's game against Sri Lanka, the team-mate with the next longest career span was Gautam Gambhir, who entered international cricket nearly 14 years after him. Was Tendulkar losing his appetite for the game, especially as the more familiar faces in the dressing room are starting to disappear? Not on the evidence of Wednesday's training session.
It was an optional session, and it was expected that on the day after the win against Sri Lanka, only the reserve players would turn up. Only three members of the 15-man squad showed up; Tendulkar was one of them.
A meticulous 70-minute batting session followed, as he faced Yusuf Pathan and Rahul Sharma, besides some sharp medium-pace from new bowling coach Joe Dawes, more mild medium from the computer analyst and throwdowns from fielding coach Trevor Penney. There was plenty of chat with the bowlers, and Fletcher kept a close eye on the batsman, providing the stray bit of advice. After the session, Tendulkar had a long conversation with Fletcher.
Till then, there had been a few laughs but the training had been mostly business-like, bearing the hallmarks of a batsman short of runs trying to iron out problems. He rarely bowls these days, and his practice for the day could have ended there, and he could have retired to the shade.
Instead, he stuck around and immensely enjoyed himself with a cat-and-mouse spell of legspin bowling to Rahul Sharma. First, he tested each of the bats Rahul had carried out, and picked out the best one for Rahul to use. He sent down a ripping legbreak that Rahul tried to clobber from the nets to the main Shere Bangla ground, only to be beaten by a long way, to Tendulkar's amusement. The next legbreak was solidly defended, prompting Tendulkar to jokingly ask why he didn't try to slam that one as well. There were googlies that thudded into Rahul's thigh, a straighter one which fizzed on to middle stump, and many times when the batsman struck the ball, Tendulkar would signal that it would have been caught at mid-on or midwicket. The session ended with Tendulkar giving Rahul some batting tips.
Tendulkar has already played more Tests and one-day matches than anybody else. Surely the relentless grind of international cricket would have bored him by now? Whenever asked why he continues to play, Tendulkar invariably says he does because he still loves the game and enjoys it.
It may sound like a pat cliché but in that brief spell against Rahul, it was clear that even after all these years, he still relishes playing the game and derives much delight from it. Add to that the rigorous preparation and the craving for improvement he showed while batting, and it suggests he is in no hurry to join fellow batting legend Rahul Dravid in retirement.

reverting to 3lb bat or is it only for practice//
http://p.imgci.com/db/PICTURES/CMS/143500/143519.jpg
Guess he must be reverting back to the 3lb bat....or else i find no reason as to why he practices with it.....
There might also be the possibility of him using it occasionally....
ethu use panna enna avar nalla aadina pothum.....
adhu innum hevaya irukkaadhu???
adhum illama light to heavy avlo seekkiram pogamaattaanga...
i think this one is not as heavy as the one he used before...
some intermediate'a irukkum... seasoning/testing/'ku konduvandhiruppaar pola...
maybe he would use it in the coming matches...
the only player who still plays international cricket!!

Sachin Mongia matter ah konjam vilavariya sollungappa :twisted:
SS, Sach is known to use heavier bats during practice..he did the same during the world cup..may be he is working on bat swing...just look at those mighty edges he could probably play a straight with just that..some info when he last used a heavy bat
:cocky smirk: 8-)

Englisman Mike Selvi in guardian sneakily calls even the 99th century as inconsequential. In the guise of praising Dravid, guardian writers have been sneakily taking cheap potshots at srt.
